A diseovery has recently been made in France which bids fair to revolutionize the perfumery business. Already arrangements have been made to carry it out on an extensive scale in Al- geria. It had its origin in the analytical ex- amination of wheat by a French chemist, M. Milton. That gentleman found that, by means of ethor, be could dissolve out of the grains or flour of wheat, a peculiar substance, which re- tained for years oder of the grain in a con- centrated form. This fact gave a hint, which he has acted upon, until he has finally projected « process which cannot fail to be of great consequence to his native country. A nation that exports six millions of dollars in perfumery, besides con- suming no small amount of it at home, ought to be grateful for any improvement in so import- ant abranchofindustry. The attention of per- fumers has long been turned to this subject, and many substances have been employed by them, which are not especially favorites with thuse who use the Extracts and Eau des Mill+flenrs. Indeed, we would not advise our lady friends to enter minutely into the study of these balm oders which they so much admire. In suc! matters as these, Pope's line is most emphati- eally true. “ Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise.” It is not merely the cost of the distillation of aromatic principles from flowers which has caused the manufacturers to look to other sources for his supply. The t difficulty of preserving these delicate jors, during the of distillation, has had its influence. Siccroneur; for example, as everybody knows, does not the delicious fragrance of the fresh flower damp with the dews of morning. It results only from the odor of the dead ant withered pe the same change in the aro- matic principle having taken place during pro- cess of distillation, which occurs when the flow- er is allowed to wither in the drawer. The ex- treme delicacy of the aromatic principle cannot resist the necessary amount of heat. Indeed so seusitive to external influences are those odifer- ous essences, that when seperated by the new process, they are destroyed even by the small amount of foreign matter which exists in well and river water, while perfectly pure distilled water retains them for an indefinite length of tume. The new process recommends itself as well by its simplicity as by its excellence. It consists in exhausting the fresh flowers by some solvent, such as ether, or sulphuret of carbon. If the action is complete, the flowers are completely deprived of their oderous principle, which is found iu the ether. This being distilled off. leaves a residue, either solid or semi-fluid, which contains the aromatic principle, mixed with some coloring matter, wax, oil and other constituents of the flower. If these are allowed to remain in contact with the odoriferous mat- ter, they will eventually destroy it. The sepe- ration of them is the we of the new process. It is usually effected by means of pure aleoho!l, which dissolves the perfume with a very small amount of other substances, leay- ing the great bulk of these last behind. Se perfectly does this process isolate the per- fume, that the slightest alteration in the flow- ers can be detected in the regult. The fresh odor can be obtained from fresh flowers. If those which have been withered, ever so little, have been employed. the exact amount of inju- ry to the flower will be repeated iu the per- fume. Even the time of day at which the flow- erg have been gathered will have an influence upen the result. so that it becomes necessary to study the habits of different plants in reference to their odor. Some must be gathered before the dew has time to dry upon them. others re- quire the sun to develope their fragrance. Thus prepared, M. Milton has found the per- fume remarkably unchangeable. It is not readily dissipated like the essences, but re- Maing without perceptible alteration, even af- ter having been long exposed to the air in open vessels. So little is lost by this process that the final result represents precisely the amount of perfame possessed by the original quantity of towers operated upon so that it will give to the same weight of fat or oil, the full strenth of of odor which the flowers itself possessed. Hap xo“ 0" to ms Nawge.—We witnessed a@ scene at the railroad station a short time since, which afforded much amusement to the bystanders. A very well, and rather showily dressed man, with a very prominent nose, alighted from the ears, and stood watching their departure, when he was bluntly accosted by an old regged son of Erin, (a recent importation,) who still retained the frieze coat and cordarvys, and was evidently but little Americanized, in the following manner : “ Arrah! an’ be me soul—sis this yerself, Mr. "Nayle ?” $ The gentleman (”) looked $rst surprised—and then shocked—and lastly isiignant, replied— “Ye're mistaken, sir-r, me name is not le.” “ Which ?”* “ Me name isn’t O’Nayle “Isn't it now ! an’ ye’re not anO’Nayle, an yees didn’t come from Skibbereen; an’ ye're not the son of the widder Bridget ; an’ may be Patrick. poor feller. that’s dead a: om”, wasn't x te father. nather? an’ ye didn’t go to «ltimore with the rich jintleman, an’ git intil the rag bizness. an’ make a power o’ monev: an’ ye're notan O'Nayle?

Might I make bould te ax yer name?” All this was vociferated very rapidly, and in @ tone of deep indignation as the “ jintleman of the rag business” replied— * Me name is Ved/, sir-r, but I've no O to the name.” Oo “An is thatit? Ye’ve niver an O to yer name’ Did yees lose it after yees kemo to Amerika?” “No, sir-r, Idid not. I never had an O to me name “ Do yees tell me thai?

At present, however, to make a pedes- trian expedition around the metropolis, would, | to most persons be an undertaking of some im- | pear as may be seen by referring to the ful- owing particulars, whieh have been gathered from a recently published map: From Chiswick to Kentishtown, tweive wiles; from Kentishiown to Millwall, seventeen and a half miles; from Millwall to Chiswick, twenty-eight miles—total, fifty-seven and a half miles, very nearly three | days’ journey at the rate of twenty miles a day; | and it will observed that in the line drawn | | Battersea, Clapham, Canningtown, and man other places, which even Pi present can rd searcely said to be separated from London, | have been leftout. ‘“ As the crow would fly”’ | across streets and houses from the point whence we started at Cheawick to the farthest east, | the distance is nearly eleven miles, and the Greatest width from north to seuth upwards of seven miley.—Thg Builder, ben + VOL. X. A New Yorx Cowmercian Acext wita Two Wivss.—Robert P. Lambert, commercial agent of a New York house, must be what Mrs. Partington would call “a ay Lutheran.”” “* He that getteth a wife getteth a good thing,”’ is all true, but out of Utah there may be “ too much of a good thing.” Richard Lambert left Mrs. Lambert No. 1 and Lambert junior in Gotham, and “took his journey into a far country."’ He went over the border. He sojourned in Canada. At Chatham he fell in love with a fair youn; Eng- lishwoman, with whom he eloped, an they were married in Detroit. The father was in search of the daughter, there joined him in the quest Mrs. Lambert No. 1 and Lambert jr., ten months old, an unexpected and terrible blow to the fond parent as to the deserted wife. This was two months since, and no tidings could be gleaned of the whereabouts of the runa- ways, the bigamist and his victim, until the present week, when the father came to this city, and on Tuesday put Bradley & Co., the well known police detectives, on the track. In the space of two days, by aid of a little light- sh daar cireulated, Lambertwartocad, and on Thursday arrested, at Janesville, Wis. The party reached this city yesterday, the bride anguished beyond expression at her cruel- wrong. She left for Detroit last evening, en route for home, with herfather. Officer Noyes, of Bradley & Co., accompanied Lambert, to seeure for him his rich deserts at the hands of Canadian justice.

Tae Avtuorsmp or Sauuaguspt.—An ar- ticle appeared in the Courier and Enanirer of the 14th instant, copied from the Windsor, (Vt.) Journal, calimiag “that Jairus Kennan, Esq., was one of the authors of Salmagundi.”’ This, we learn from one who has prefect means of knowing, is a mistake. The authors of that work were Washington Irving, James K. Pauld- ing, and Wilham Irving. The two former are well aud favorably known from their late works; the latter les so, as he died in the Autumn of 1821. He was senior to his brother Washington by several years, and also to James K. Panid- ing. whose sister was his wife. He was the only married one of the three, and it wasathis house in Greenwich street, that their social gatherings were held, and their effusions urranged for the press. He wrote the account of Tom Straddle, some of the letters of Mustapha, and other prose articles, besides the poetry. Afterwards during the administration of Mr. Madison, he was for several years representative in Congress from this city, the associate of Lowndes, Ke - dolph, Clay, Pickens, Forsyth, Crawford.

On the accession of James Monroe to the Presidency, he was inyited toa seat in his Cabinet, as Secretary of the Navy, through the. medium of Commodore Decatur, bat declined ita acceptance. He was a mun of varied powers of mind, conscientious, warm- hearted and generous ; of ready wit, and con- versational ability, and also characterized by extreme diffidence and unassuming modesty ; in many of the above ts bearing great affinity to his youngest brother, Was ing- ton.— Courier. paren peleeninee aaa A Virerxtax in New Yorx.—Some time since Mr. M., of Virginia, a gentlemen of rare intellectual endowments, as well as of superior oo strength, was in this city. Passing up roadway one afternoon, he stepped into an auc- tion room and bid off one or two articles, when he was asked to walk into a back office. Ina | few minutes a bill was presented to him for $30. Mr. M. examined the suddenly increased bill, and in a manner decidedly cool, arose and said, “Ab, yes. I thought when I came in this was a regular and respectable auction house, but I was inistaken, and I find it is one of the reg: ular ‘mock auction swindling concerns.’ “ This,’’ said one of the atentante, “is a re- spectable auction house, and,” turning the key in the door, we will let you know, sir, that we are no swindlers, and that you must pay this bill.’ “ Now,” said Mr. M., “you are fixing things right, and I anderstand matters, and we will see who will open that door firsi."” At this he drew his arm back, and before the “ mock auctioneer’’ could ‘‘take a note of time” he found himself heaped upon the floor, and his companion in rascality knocked into the oute Troon, through the door, to the no emall aston- ishment of outsiders. Mr. M. deliberately left the room, and heard no more of the bill of $30, as the swindlers found they had locked up the Wrong customer. Mr. M. often amuses his friends by giving them an account of hia first attendance upon an auction sale in New York. New York Post. Tae Lavy Wao Faints.—Certainly the En- glish will never haye. in that line, such nice in- ventions as the French. The following may be taken as superlative of the kind: One day, ina law-suit before the Tribunal Correctionel, a handsome young lady, smartly dressed, was called as a witness. The Judge asked her name, and then put the question concerning her profession ; “ I am fainting,” answered Madame in her weakest tone. The gallant discipte of ‘Themis told an officer of the Court to bring her a chair, and #!lowed sufficient time fur recover- ing. Then “ Bo not afraid, madame,”’ said he, * inl please tell me, before you are sworn, what is your profession ?”’ ‘I am fainting,” again whispered the pretty witness, in a scarcely au- dible voice. is time the Vice-President sent for a glass of water; the dame sipped it slowly, then, bowing ey to the ides, looked at him, seemingly awaiting further questions. And again she was asked her profession ; won- dering and amazed she answered ; ** But Mon- sieur le President, { had already twice the honor to tell you that my profession is tofaint.’” “To faint?’’ exclaimed the bench ; ‘can that ever be a profession ?"’ Madame answered in the affirmative and explained that she had cee a livelihood by going every evening, in ‘ashionable dress, to a stall at the Theatre de la Porte Saint Martin,” and fainting at the most tragical moment in the play. She added that her services were very valuable, and that the manager had never had to complain of the manner in which she performed her part. Un- happily, by exposing thus publicly the pot aux roses hor occupation was lost.— Paris Letter. Tus Lapr or tux Woops.—A characteris- t'e of Sweedish scenery is wood and pine with glimpses of lakes under the sombre ranches, a id occasional gunlit glades, varied by groves of that exquisitely beautiful tree, the Northern Bireh. The glory of Scandinavia is the birch groves. The glimmering, trembling leaves, the graceful droop of the branches, the light and hade—the tone which nature herself, in truest feeling. has impressed on the bark of their gi- gantic trunks, so that, without sunlight there is & perpetual variety of light through thircheck- ered arches—make unforgetable pictures in the | traveller's memory.—The Norse Folk.
